Tell me who your friends are.....
Het is me niet duidelijk uit onderstaande of er een bepaalde reden of aanleiding was voor deze warme woorden aan het adres van een oorlogsmisdadiger en massamoordenaar. PMW heeft weleens de neiging de context bij zaken weg te laten, maar zelfs dan blijft het nogal dubieus om zo'n man persoonlijk een brief te laten overhandigen met de woorden dat de Palestijnen: "have complete faith in the wisdom of President Omar Al-Bashir."
Ieder contact dat Israel indertijd had met Apartheid Zuid-Afrika wordt in antizionistische kringen breed uitgemeten, dus misschien dat men daar ook zijn ongenoegen hiermee kan uiten?

Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas has expressed his personal support for the president of Sudan, Omar Hassan Al-Bashir, who is accused of being responsible for the genocide in Darfur. In a letter to the Sudanese president, Abbas wrote that he and Palestinians "have complete faith in the wisdom of President Omar Al-Bashir."
In 2008, evidence was presented in the International Criminal Court of Justice that showed that "Al-Bashir committed the crimes of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes in Darfur." The crimes against humanity include "murder, extermination, forcible transfer, torture and rape." [http://www.icc-cpi.int accessed Dec. 8, 2010] Warrants for his arrest have been issued by the International Criminal Court.
PA TV News reports that a member of the Fatah Central Committee, Azzam Al-Ahmad, was sent by Abbas to deliver a personal letter to the Sudanese president. In it, Abbas wrote that the Palestinian people "stand side by side with the brother country Sudan." The Palestinians, wrote Abbas, "emphasize" their "complete willingness to stand with Sudan in everything it wants and in the way it wants."
